Bugatti Veyron Test Drive Experience
Earlier this year, the guys at The Supercar Driver organized a trip to Molsheim, home of the Bugatti factory. One of the participants has been lucky enough to experience quick a test drive in the Bugatti Veyron and thanks to this onboard video we can experience (sort of!) how's it like to push the mighty 1001hp of the Bugatti Veyron in the highway and in the french countryside.

Action POV with the Pagani Huayra
So, this is probably how the 99,9% of us will get to experience so close the feel to be in the driving seat of the Pagani Huayra! This spectacular first view video shows us Pagani's chief test driver Davide Testi behind the wheel of Pagani's factory Huayra (refreshed with a new golden wrap) being driven like no other could do on track!

LaFerrari testing at the Nürburgring!
Does the LaFerrari wants to join the exclusive sub-7 minutes club of the Nürburgring? It would be exciting if Ferrari joins the battle between McLaren and Porsche to make the best lap time of the fastest street legal car, but I guess the technicians of Maranello are driving the car at the Green Hell for other reasons, the car is not yet ready and for this reason Ferrari has delaied the production to 2014, mean while both productions of the P1 and 918 Spyder have started this month.

2014 Nissan GT-R Nismo spied
What you see here is the 2014 Nissan GT-R Nismo caught on camera during a session of testing at Nürburgring.. where else? After 6 years and several facelifts, " Godzilla " is still on the market and before the presumed successor to come in 2015, Nissan wants to improve the car and with a rumored 0-100 km/h sprint in just 2 seconds, the GT-R Nismo might be the fastest as well as the most powerful road going model that Nissan has ever produced, and it really looks as fast as we can imagine from this video!

Jay Leno drives the McLaren P1
No wonder many people wish to be Jay Leno. First of all, because he's a genuine petrolhead with a dream garage and second, because he's the first person outside McLaren to drive their latest hybrid hypercar, the P1.

Alfa Romeo 4C at Balocco
Alfa Romeo has released a new official video regarding the 4C in motion. Although the marketing guys of Alfa Romeo had the brilliant idea to let us hear some music instead of the real noise of the engine, at least we can see the 4C moving quickly and sideways around Fiat's Balocco test track.

McLaren P1 - The testing continues
The McLaren P1 is limited to 375 units with a price tag of $1.1m and of course the whole production is completely sold out. The first deliveries will start in just two months and in the mean time the british company is about to end the final testing and developing processes for the production vehicle. McLaren has released an official video regarding a test session somewhere in Scandinavia involving the P1 with a camo wrap and snow.. a lot of snow. What you can do with 916hp and a slippery surface? The McLaren test driver certainly had good fun!

Fast as Hell
Take the ultimate german track car in the ultimate racetrack, give it to an expert racing driver, fit it with sport track tires and a couple of cameras to film the action. Dunlop has held at Nürburgring an event to show the efficiency of their new Dunlop Sport Maxx semi slick tires, and in the following video you can see a Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0 fitted with these tires being driven insanely, by marking an absolutely amazing lap time under 7 minutes and 30 seconds.

The Ferrari F430 reviewed
The Ferrari F430 has set a benchmark in the Ferrari's history, it replaced the Ferrari 360 and it was much better under every point of view. It's incredible that the production started in 2004, and after 9 years I think that it's still one of the best modern Ferraris ever made. My good friend Leone Andreta at Exclusivos No Brasil has reviewed the F430 and the result is a truly awesome video. Don't worry, english subtitles are included!

991 GT3 and Turbo testing at Nurburgring
Porsche continues with massive testing of the upcoming 991 GT3 and Turbo, where else? At Nürburgring, of course. For the first time in Porsche's history, the GT3 will be available with a double clutch transmission just like the one in you can see in this video. The power output of the next generation Turbo is supposed to be around 520hp and its debut could take place at Frankfurt Motor Show, in September 2013. What about the GT3? With a possible power output of 450hp and a better handling than the previous one, the 991 GT3 will be for sure a track animal! Rumors are about its close debut at Geneva Motor Show, in March 2013.

2013 Maserati Quattroporte on the road
The 6th generation of the Maserati Quattroporte has been filmed in the spanish streets while testing. The car shows a camouflage, though the official pics of the final car have been released in November. Maserati hasn't revealed yet the power of the new Quattroporte, but in this testing car we hear a lovely noise from a possible V8 engine, and a quick double clutch transmission.
I had the opportunity to film a few over the year while testing in Italy at Fiorano, Ferrari's private test track.

SLS Black Series Test Mule on fire
Recently a testing mule of the upcoming Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series caught on fire at Nürburgring, the main place where nowadays most of the automotive factories test their cars. The accident took place in the main straight during an hard testing session, pretty dangerous location if you consider in that point, there are supercars that can even touch a top speed of 300kph. Luckily the driver and passenger didn't suffered any injuries.
